Let's continue this discussion...

I'll be moving the list to the wiki, since its hard to maintain a list in
an e-mail. But I'd like to discuss it here. Basically, do the changes on
the wiki, then send an e-mail here to discuss it.

I the item's that Erik proposed a few months ago, and expanded on it a
little bit. One of the main concerns is how much the plugin's can get from
the main GUI. For example, the shake-window plugin. What is ideal is for
the plugin to be written with Qt but still work on a gui that is written
in GTK. It should be possible, if the GUI gives the XServer's window id to
the shake-window plugin (SW) and then SW modifies the Window via the Qt
interface. Not sure if this is possible, but I think so.

Anyways, here is the URL for us to work on:

http://wiki.licq.org/index.php/Plugin_API#GUI_Considerations

I'll be adding more when I get time, (still cleaning up from moving).
